Chapter 1353: Not Her

He Lingchuan's eyes turned cold, and the gardener felt the surrounding temperature drop by several degrees, subconsciously shivering:

"They, they manage these..." He didn't dare to say much: "Called fresh goods."

Wanshou Feng felt his Lord's anger and hurriedly pursued: "Where does Steward Zou live?"

"West, west." The gardener pointed to the west, "Follow the garden corridor to the end, turn two corners, it's a flat house with a large blue stone at the door. He lives, lives there!" The steward also serves the master, and his residence cannot be too far from the Second Young Master.

After asking, Wanshou Feng chopped the gardener's neck with a hand knife, knocking him unconscious.

"Liang."

"Going now." Wanshou Liang mounted his horse and headed west, followed by two companions.

During their questioning, Dong Rui squatted down to examine the corpse, his technique very smooth. In front of this anatomy master, ordinary coroners couldn't compare to his rich experience. "Skin and flesh withered, essence and blood were all sucked away, but there were no external injuries."

"Look, everyone." He used some means to make the neck of the corpse show faint marks again, "Actually, it's not without injury; they were all strangled by the neck. But the claw distance of the killer, or the finger distance, is very wide."

He compared it with his own palm; this killer seemed to have hands bigger than his.

"This way of death is similar to the five people of Chen Fu'ang." He could only say similar, because the deceased in Chen Family Manor had been dead for more than half a month, and the corpses had long rotted and flowed with pus, so there was no "appearance" to speak of.

Right, he was just that rigorous.

He Lingchuan exhaled: "A-Hui's daughter might have been here last night too."

The way of death of the people in the Chen family and here was similar.

This place was actually not far from Chen Family Manor.

A-Hui's remains were found in the wilderness, but Little An was missing.

The gardener also said just now that Wuma Xu bought little girls from human traffickers.

Dong Rui immediately said: "Right, Sister-in-law Wu mentioned that A-Hui suddenly went crazy because the five people of Chen Fu'ang wanted to sell Little An. Did these five kill A-Hui and then, without further ado, sell Little An according to the original plan? That's why Little An was sent here by human traffickers."

Wanshou Feng couldn't help saying: "Wait, according to your statement, the little girl killed by Wuma Xu last night was Little An?"

The hearts of all the warriors were a bit heavy; this girl's life experience was so bumpy, just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth.

Heaven really had no pity for her.

He Lingchuan took out the Soul Box and approached several corpses on the ground.

The previous few times the Black Armor leader performed the extraction of evil souls in public, he used this Juluo Treasure Box. Now these evil souls were lying in the box, becoming fertilizer for the tree in the box.

But now the treasure box sucked for a long time and didn't suck anything up.

"The souls of these few have also been extracted together." He Lingchuan put away the box, "No matter what kind of monster attacked them, it wanted all the essence, energy, and soul, and it was greedy enough."

"Was this monster chasing Little An again?" Little An told Sister-in-law Wu that monsters had been chasing her from behind.

"Perhaps." He Lingchuan said slowly, "But there is more than one kind of monster that attacked Chen Family Manor."

A burst of rapid hoofbeats sounded outside.

Wanshou Liang went out and returned with one more person.

He pulled this person from the horse's back and threw him to the ground, thus harvesting a painful cry.

This guy was tall and thin, his clothes were good, but he was scared pale.

A hole was pierced in his right arm, and blood flowed like a spring.

Wanshou Liang pointed to this person and said: "I went to find Steward Zou; he had already left the house more than ten feet away and pretended to be a servant to point me in the right direction."

So he turned his hand and pierced Steward Zou's right arm, which was a warning.

Wanshou Feng stepped forward and asked Steward Zou: "What was the name of the girl killed by your Second Young Master yesterday?"

Steward Zou first saw these murderous Black Armor soldiers, then looked at the dead people on the ground, and was further frightened to the point of weak legs. Wanshou Liang kicked his knee, and he knelt down.

"Ah?" The sound of upper teeth hitting lower teeth was too loud, and he didn't hear Wanshou Feng's question clearly.

Wanshou Liang said coldly: "You usually do dirty work for Wuma Xu and have handled dead people, so why are you scared like a bird now?"

Could that be the same? The one who asked him to handle dead people usually had now become a dead person lying on the ground. Steward Zou's mouth couldn't listen to his commands: "Called, called Tingting!"

Dong Rui gave an "eh": "How old?"

"Ten, no no, eleven!"

"Where is she?"

Steward Zou said with a bitter face: "Second Young Master asked me to dispose of the corpse, I, I had people send it to the white poplar forest behind to bury it!"

He begged the crowd: "The little one is just following orders, the little one doesn't want to do it either, but Second Young Master, Second Young Master asked me... I don't do it and someone else will. High people spare my life, spare my life!"

Wanshou Feng said: "So it wasn't Little An."

Even if it wasn't Little An, it was very annoying to hear.

"Little An?" Steward Zou hurriedly said, "Another little girl is called Little An, five or six years old."

So she was really here? Everyone looked over, and He Lingchuan asked him: "Where is she?"

"I bought her back yesterday, and she was watched by A-Xing this morning. A-Xing is this—" He pointed to the sturdy servant lying on the ground, "Th-then I was busy with other things."

Green Intent Manor was so big, how many miscellaneous things did he, a second-class steward, have to be busy with, so how could he have time to be distracted by a little girl who didn't matter? Of course, he knew now that the girl was not unimportant at all!

Dong Rui interrupted at the right time: "Hey, Wuma Xu probably died between the end of the afternoon and the beginning of the evening; why haven't you discovered it until now?"

When they raided Green Intent Manor, it was already moonlit.

For a whole hour in between, with so many people coming and going in such a large manor, no one discovered Wuma Xu was dead? What? Steward Zou was startled, Second Young Master wasn't killed by these Black Armor people? He stammered: "Second Young Master's courtyard closes its doors, which means he doesn't want to be disturbed. Everyone in the manor knows this meaning!"

That is to say, Little An's whereabouts are unknown, and no one knows where she went? He Lingchuan's heart moved; this situation also appeared in Chen Family Manor.

And according to Steward Zou, she was sent here by human traffickers yesterday.

"Before Little An was sent to Green Intent Manor, where else did she go?" Since the incident in Chen Family Manor, more than half a month had passed. During this period, where was Little An? "No, don't know." Steward Zou answered truthfully, "The human traffickers said this was a girl they picked up from the roadside not long ago!"

A Black Armor soldier on guard at a high place jumped down and ran in, urgently: "There is a formation of torches in the north, and they are almost here, about a hundred people."

They rushed into Green Intent Manor and went straight to the target, and it had only been a quarter of an hour so far. Manor Master Wuma Dan finally gathered manpower, preparing to drive away these uninvited guests.
